re: #235 KGxvi
No problem.
One other thing that popped into my head, up until the mid-90s we had two Marine bases and a Navy base in Orange County. The Marine bases (El Toro, now Lake Forest, and Tustin) were closed; the Navy base (Los Alamitos) was reorganized and scaled down as a joint training base. I suspect the economy be less based on military bases probably also played a role.
Aha that would make sense too. It’s so interesting to me how OC, once a bastion of conservatism went for Clinton while my mom’s parents home county in Pa (Cambria, where Johnstown is) went for Trump in a landslide. This was a county that even went for Mondale over Reagan in the 80’s.
